Warhead is a very important part of the projectile weapon that can kill enemies and destroy the enemy's weapons, equipment, and facilities. Tungsten heavy alloy has unique performance, such as high density, high melting point, high strength, and good machinability, so it is widely used to fabricate warheads.

Types of tungsten heavy alloy warheads include:
Fragmentation: Metal fragments are projected at high velocity to cause damage or injury.
Explosive: An explosive charge is used to disintegrate the target, and damage surrounding areas with a blast wave.
Shaped charge: The effect of the explosive charge is focused onto a specially shaped metal liner to project a hypervelocity jet of metal, to perforate heavy armor.
Conventional: Chemicals such as gunpowder and high explosives store significant energy within their molecular bonds. This energy can be released quickly by a trigger, such as an electric spark. Thermobaric weapons enhance the blast effect by utilizing the surrounding atmosphere in their explosive reactions.
